Biography
Doge Domenico of Venice was born in 720 to the House of Monegario, and in 755 he overthrew Doge Galla of Venice to become the Doge of the Republic of Venice. He reigned as doge for nine years, and in 764 Doge Maurizio of Venice supplanted him and blinded him, becoming the new doge. Domenico remained the patrician of Monegario in the administration of Maurizio, but he failed to regain the title of doge. His family grew weak, and the House of Dandolo replaced it.
